Design – Haji
- Big step up from PYP into robotics (VEX) and coding with microcontrollers.
- User research → prototyping → testing → iterate with feedback.
- Design Cycle portfolios: investigate, plan, create, evaluate with evidence.
- Safety, ethics and sustainability woven through briefs.
ATL
- Research – user needs, constraints, test plans, data logs.
- Thinking – decomposition, iteration, optimisation, debugging.
- Collaboration – roles, stand-ups, critique circles.
ATT & Learner Profile
- Inquiry, differentiation and reflective improvement.
- Risk‑takers • Reflective • Balanced.
Global Context & SDGs
- Scientific & Technical Innovation; sustainable product design.
- SDGs 9 & 12 – industry and responsible consumption.
Assessment
- Plan → Create → Evaluate portfolios and prototype demonstrations.
Design blends creativity with engineering discipline. Students investigate users, justify choices, prototype, test and iterate like real designers.
